    Ack - registration system wanted nothing to do with me signing in with my old handle, or any new handle with the old email address I had on file (or a different email address for that matter)

    I went into the forums and registered there with a new account and that took finally.

    Might want to just send people straight away to the forums registration and be done with it

    Under Quick News, are the Most Clicked and Most Discussed options working correctly? I'm not getting the results I would have expected.

    Text size is too small and doesn't respond to "View-Text Size" in IE 0 Not great for those of us with bad eyesight or your ADA viewers.

    There's a large font dropdown under "MyProfile" when logged in.

    Well, even with large font selected, the font is too small for my aging eyes. I normally run my monitor at 1400 x 1050 and don't usually have problems. If I use the Firefox keystrokes to increase the font, the frames overlay and you can't read many things.
    I do like many of the improvements though.
    Just that all changes are not all better.

    I'll look into making a completely adjustable font version. Thanks for the feedback.

    Thanks for the prompt response! While I've got your ear, could you consider making the width a little wider. I've got about half the right side of my screen wased in white space. (Unless the adjustable font fixes that too.)

    I've been watching your site for about 5 years now. (Maybe longer) I've saved and lost many dollars because I found this spot. So many that it is my browser homepage.
    Keep up the good work and hope you are making a fortune on your clickthroughs!

    Ben, the "Add to Yahoo" link on the Expiring page doesn't work right. Haven't tried on other pages yet.

    Ben, the "add to Yahoo" links under the RSS Feeds link seem a bit off also.

    Site looks good though...congrats on a nice update.
